  </Step>

  <Step title="Use Roo Code">
    Type a clear, concise description of what you want Roo Code to do in the chat box at the bottom of the panel. Examples of effective tasks:

    * "Create a file named `hello.txt` containing 'Hello, world!'."
    * "Write a Python function that adds two numbers."
    * "Create an HTML file for a simple website with the title 'Roo test'"

    No special commands or syntax needed—just use plain.
